Since occupying the Palestinian West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and
Gaza during the June 1967 war, Israel has imprisoned nearly a million
Palestinians, including nonviolent human
rights activists, in an attempt to crush any resistance to its military
rule and theft of Palestinian land for its illegal settlement
enterprise. As a result, nearly every Palestinian in the occupied
territories has had loved ones imprisoned by Israel. #Marking50
